Two wires are fixed in a sonometer. Their tensions are in the ratio $8:1$. The lengths are in the ratio $36:35$. The diameters are in the ratio $4:1$. Densities of the materials are in the ratio $1:2$. If the lower frequency in the setting is $360 \ Hz$,the beat frequency when the two wires are sounded together is: (in $Hz$)

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
